Wanjin Lady

Chapter 132 Confused Mind
Yuan Jing, who had originally planned to take advantage of the situation and take over the Wen family winery, suddenly changed his mind. He swept away the dark clouds that had been hanging over his head for days and smiled as brightly as a spring breeze. "Manager Wen, your words are really confusing. If I really like your winery, I will naturally buy it at the market price. But I remember that the winery is now run by Miss Wen, right?"

Wen Weiming heard the hidden meaning in Yuan Jing's words and his face turned pale. He quickly said, "She...how can a little girl run a family? I'm not dead yet, it's not her turn to make the decision! I can sell this winery if I say so!"

Yuan Jing shook his head. "I have some friendship with Miss Wen. I would be uneasy if she didn't show up for such a big matter. How about this? Bring her here tomorrow. We can discuss it in detail and then talk about the contract."

Zhu Wang felt that something was wrong.

It turned out that Yuan Jing didn't listen to a single word he had said to persuade him before!

How could Yuan Jing not understand the principle of quitting while one is ahead?!

Remember that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes!

Yuan Jing naturally had to vent his anger. He knew that the mess of the Wen family was so serious that no one in the entire Ping County dared to take it over except him, Yuan Jing, so he became more and more confident.

He made up his mind... he had to humiliate Wen Wan before he was done.

Wen Weiming's face changed, and he froze in place. Yuan Jing patted his shoulder and said, "Please tell Wen Wan that if she doesn't come tomorrow, I will tell all the grain merchants in Tianshui Prefecture about what she did in Bingzhou. I'll see... If Manager Wen wants to retire to the countryside... I'm afraid it won't be possible."

Wen Weiming's body swayed and he almost lost his balance.

It turns out that Yuan Jing really knew that Wen Wan had offered advice to the Marquis of Huai'an!
It seems that even if Wen Weiming begs for mercy, Yuan Jing will not let Wen Wan go!
After much consideration, Wen Weiming began to feel that showing weakness today was a form of self-humiliation.

Wen Weiming was no pushover. Originally hoping to settle the matter peacefully, Yuan Jing had driven him to his limits. His chest heaved, and a hint of anger crossed his face. "I'll go back and discuss this with my daughter, then give Sixth Master an answer."

After the man walked away, Zhu Wang sighed, "Yuan Liulang, why are you doing this? You should know that even a clay man still has some anger. Wen Weiming has already humbled himself in front of you, so why do you insist on taking it out on him? Be careful, the Wen family and you will be doomed!"

Yuan Jing sneered, "What's there to be afraid of with just the Wen family?"

What's more, the Wen family has already been defeated by him!

"I, Yuan Jing, have never suffered such a great humiliation since I was a child! You are willing to be fooled around by that little woman, that's your business! I, Yuan Jing, will not accept this! I must make Wen Wan kneel down in front of me and kowtow to admit her fault, and then this matter will be over!"

Zhu Wang finally understood!

This Yuan Liulang is really vindictive!

Ups and downs are common in the business world. If you lose today, you can make it up from somewhere else tomorrow. If everyone puts fighting spirit above profit like Yuan Liulang, this business will not last long!

However, thinking of the warm house that Yuan Liulang promised him, Zhu Wang's heart was burning with excitement.

Forget it, the Yuan family and the Wen family are fighting each other, and he is the one who benefits!

Wen Weiming didn't sleep that night.

Yuan Jing is in hot pursuit of the winery, and no one knows how many tricks he will use.

Even though Yuan Liulang was half-hearted in agreeing to the Lu Ping incident earlier, Wen Weiming began to fear Yuan Liulang's methods after the winery was burned down.

The Wen family is different from the Yuan family.

The Wen family can barely be considered to have the final say in Ping County, but when it comes to Bozhou and Tianshui Prefecture, where powerful people are everywhere, how can they be considered a real figure?

Wen Weiming has seen too many cases of powerful people taking advantage of others and robbing others. It would be really not worth it if both the person and the winery were implicated.

But... Wen Weiming absolutely refused to let Wen Wan apologize to Yuan Jing. After thinking it over and over, Wen Weiming was at a loss. Helpless, he stopped hiding it and got up to walk towards Wen Wan's courtyard.

It was already dawn when Zhao Heng got up. In the training ground, the sound of fists hitting wooden stakes was annoying to hear.

Old Man Wen walked under the eaves with his hands behind his back. He was annoyed by Zhao Heng's lean and strong figure, especially his eight-pack abs.

It’s like who doesn’t have it?

Who didn’t have two abdominal muscles when they were young?

Why are you showing off by practicing martial arts so hard early in the morning every day?
If the Wen family really collapses, let this kid do hard labor at the docks, at least the two daughters won’t starve!

Old Man Wen had completely forgotten the guilt he had felt towards Zhao Heng some time ago because Wen Wan "left the father and kept the son".

Now he is feeling irritable and annoyed by everyone he sees.

Zhao Heng saw Old Man Wen and hurried forward to greet him. Old Man Wen waved his hand and said, "Tell Wen Wan to come to the study to see me when she wakes up."

Wen Weiming walked to the study again. It was just dawn and the rooster crowed once. The study was pitch dark. Wen Weiming lit the oil lamp and saw the scattered papers on the table.

Wen Weiming watched intently in the dim candlelight.

"Heaven has created all creatures to suit their own tastes. Therefore He has given man wealth so that each may obtain what he desires."

"Merchants seek profit, and even hills and mountains cannot stop them."

"If one speaks faithfully and acts with sincerity and respect, he will be able to succeed even in a barbarian country."

Wen Weiming didn't quite understand. He was originally from a merchant family. Later, in order to gain the respect of his father-in-law, he made up for it by cramming for a few days. Now he has forgotten everything.

Now, he could only see that this article talked about business, and the neat and clean hard pen calligraphy was obviously written by a gentle reed pen. When would his daughter be able to write articles?

Wen Weiming sat in the armchair that Wen Wan usually sat in, staring up at the beam in a daze, thinking about Yuan Jing's coercion, and wondering whether the Wen family had the ability to fight a desperate battle. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

Fortunately, gentle footsteps were soon heard outside.

"Father." Wen Wan called out when she entered the room, and saw that Wen Weiming looked depressed, not sure if it was because of the cold or worry, and the area under his eyelids was yellow and blue.

Seeing this, Wen Wan sighed softly.

Wen Weiming couldn't hold it in any longer and told her everything about how he'd gone to see Yuan Liulang yesterday without telling her. Feeling ashamed and angry, he kept blaming himself, "It's all my fault! I knew he wouldn't let us off easily, yet I still offered myself up to be humiliated! From what he said, I could tell he just wanted you to come to him, kneel at his feet, kowtow and admit your mistake, before he'd let us go!"

"God damn it, Yuan Liulang! Bingzhou's grain sales are his own insatiable greed, and you've exploited his greed to set up this trap. How could this non-greedy fish be caught? I've already shamelessly begged him, even offering him my winery. What else does he want?"

"Are you going to force my Wen family to go bankrupt?!"

Wen Weiming became increasingly angry as he spoke, his voice rising higher and higher, "If I had known this would happen, why would I have begged him?"

The young lady's face was indifferent. "Why is father afraid of Yuan Liulang?"

"How can I not be afraid?" Wen Weiming's neck stiffened. "That kid has no rules and his methods are shady. He has the Cheng family, the imperial merchant, behind him. Even if he kills or burns, the Cheng family has a way to wipe it out! Two days ago, it was Lu Ping, tomorrow it might be you... or maybe Wen Jing? What if next time... you don't have such good luck? If something happens to you, how can I live? How can I face your mother in the underworld?"
